Why I Give

This year, The Philadelphia School Fund asks: Why I give? This has been a wonderful opportunity for us to speak with members of our community in order to learn what they value most about TPS. These stories capture the essence and spirit of our school. Here is a glimpse into some of the thoughtful and powerful reflections families have shared.

It is such a unique and caring school guided by such a brilliant, loving (yes- loving!) and motivated group of educators who give ourchildren a wonderful start. TPS is everything a school shouldbe--both challenging and nurturing. The students clearly lovethe place, the teachers, the activities--and each other.

As evidenced above, our faculty is truly the heart and soul of TPS. They are master educators who care deeply about your children. It is due in large part to them that we continue to be the extraordinary institution that holds curiosity, creative thinking and collaboration at the center of everything we do. Our commitment to building confident, compassionate and global citizens is where we excel. At TPS we believe in working together to ensure that the resources are in place to support an environment where everyone can be their best. You are an important part of this partnership.

In spirit, we invite you to join us in supporting The Philadelphia School Fund. Last year, we successfully reached $300,000 with close to 100% participation from Board, Faculty/Staff and Alums. Our goal for the 2014-2015 campaign is to reach even higher in developing and enriching the TPS experience for our children and for generations to come.

Please join us in making a pledge or gift today through the secure online giving link. Together, we can exceed last year’s record parent participation. Please remember that no gift is too small and every gift will make a difference.
